Bryan Johnson shares strategies to reduce jet lag: skip heavy meals on the plane, sleep soon after takeoff timed to the destination's evening, drink only water, and upon arrival unpack, eat, and do light exercise to reset your circadian rhythm.

Airplane food sucks, but hey, I gotta eat. I keep meals light or skip them entirely on flights. Eating too close to sleep hurts sleep quality and makes jet lag harder to beat. I watch a couple movies, you know, they're free. I sleep right after takeoff. Ideally, I can time it with my destination's evening so I can bank sleep and align my circadian rhythm. I'll do a beer or a wine, it helps with the turbulence. I only drink water on flights. Alcohol disrupts your sleep, dehydrates you, and makes jet lag worse. I land, unpack, and then order room service. I stretch and do light exercise when I arrive at the hotel. It helps with alertness and makes it easier to adjust to the new time zone. You sound like fun. Yeah, well, you eat airplane food. Yeah, well—
